Palma de Mallorca in April
Great time to visit
April hits the Goldilocks zone - warm enough for terraces, cool enough for hiking, and just busy enough to feel alive. The weather practically begs you to spend all day outside.
Weather
April delivers Palma's sweet spot - warm days around 21°C and cool nights at 11°C. Rain becomes sporadic with just 5 days of showers, usually brief afternoon affairs. Humidity drops to a comfortable 60% and sea breezes keep things fresh.

All Months
April through October offers the best weather, but each season has its perks and pitfalls.
April and May bring wildflowers to the Tramuntana mountains and pleasant 70°F temperatures. Hotels cost half of summer rates, but some beach clubs stay closed.
June through August is peak season for good reason. Temperatures hit 85°F, the Mediterranean warms to perfect swimming conditions, and every restaurant and bar is open. But expect crowds at major sights and book restaurants weeks ahead.
September and October might be ideal — still warm enough for swimming, fewer crowds, and the light turns golden for photography. Many locals say October offers the year's best weather.
Winter (November through March) sees temperatures drop to the 60s, but many restaurants close and ferry schedules reduce. Good for solo travelers seeking solitude, but families will find limited activities.
